Steven Ashworth just gave Creighton a very important win for their resume. A road win against a very, very good Seton Hall team.
Really happy for Ashworth considering how hard all of us have gone in on him.
He rang the fucking bell today.
Huge.

*clears throat*
Dear Steven Ashworth,
I just wanted to come forward today to say that I was a hater ass bitch to start this season. I just want you to know that you’re valued by the Creighton community for much more than your contributions on the floor.
Best,
Austin
A number of years ago I wanted Greg McDermott fired. Sometimes it’s okay to be wrong.
Now, I believe he deserves a massive bag of money that comes close to a lifetime contract.
The coaching job he’s done at CU is unmatched in the Big East.
Marcus Blossom, get it done sir. 💸💸
In the midst of all the hoopla about the game last night, Creighton is signing its highest-rated class this morning on National Signing Day.
Greg McDermott has transformed this program into a powerhouse the last 10 years.
Don't gotta pinch yourself anymore - shit is real.
Man….Creighton will be running, essentially, a seven man rotation tomorrow. Brutal break for a team that desperately wanted to break some hearts in this tournament.
Don’t count them out, tho!
#RollJays
Incredibly proud of this team. Let’s go shock the world in the tournament next week!
Lose with dignity, respect your opponent and get ready for the next!
Proud!
@BluejayMBB
Man reading Mac’s comments in Shatel’s column this morning regarding Ryan Nembhard was tough.
Sounds like Mac was just completely blindsided like everyone else.
But god, the class in these words. Going to choose to remember R2 the same way.
Are we not gonna talk about the insanely bad call on Kalkbrenner when Prosper fell into his hands at the 2:38 mark? Prosper straight up tripped and Ryan grazed him as he fell.
Jeff Anderson put on a master class this evening on how to properly fuck up a game as an official.
Gotta believe that Coach Mac should be in the mix for Big East coach of the year. These dudes are young, inexperienced, and riddled with injuries AND they are STILL winning.
Incredible job.
@BluejayMBB
Sat next to Ryan Kalkbrenner’s parents on the flight to Omaha today. Nice folks, great family, and can confirm there is no way we get one more year after this. 😂
#RollJays
Hey,
For all the Creighton lifer's.....we made it!
Wear your White & Blue proud today. Smile all day long. Soak this one up & get ready for the next.
#RollFuckingJays
Farabello literally coming into this game with a new level of confidence. What a time to turn it on, providing Creighton with huge points off the bench. Clutch.
#RollJays
Jeff Anderson made 4-5 absolutely questionable calls from the U12 mark in the second half that ultimately lost Creighton the game.
@BIGEASTMBB
please for the love of god do something about this, it’s been so bad all year. FIX IT.
Been thinking how hilarious it would be
If
Creighton Twitter had a bar meetup where everyone wore their Twitter handle name on a name tag and we all go around running into each other and mumbling “that dude is crazy online”
Can we do this sometime you guys
It is Friday.
Creighton plays for the Elite 8 this evening.
Peak feeling for Jays fans right now. Soak it up.
Put on your Creighton blue, get yourself in front of TV tonight.
Let's fucking GO.
Roll Jays every goddamn day.
Massive loss for the Creighton community in
@JonNyatawa
leaving the OWH.
He covered Creighton sports with the best of them. His knowledge, understanding, and detail of the game will be sorely missed.
Cheers to whatever is next, Jon. CU nation is rooting for you!
Huss has got to be in line for Greg’s job when he wants to retire, if he’s not picked up by then (he will be).
Great recruiter, great basketball mind.
Wish list if Greg was gone tomorrow:
1.) Alan Huss
2.) Porter Moser
2.) Darian DeVries
Honorable mention: Grant Gibbs
Gotta give Steven Ashworth some love💙
Dude has stuck with the team-first mentality all season and he’s been making big plays for Creighton down the stretch. 🔥
@stevenAsh_15
Absolutely massive props to this entire team.
They could’ve thrown in the towel in December, but they didn’t. They played for each other and for US.
Zero bad feelings about this run, give these guys the credit they deserve.
Roll Jays forever and always.
#RollJays
The 2014 NCAA Tournament loss to Baylor has been avenged. Creighton is Sweet 16 bound for the second time in 3 years.
Legit shedding tears in my kitchen right now. What a season, what a team!!!
#RollJays
Idk man.
I’ve seen a lot of days as a Creighton fan…. None feel better than today.
Holistically, this team is…just complete. And competing at a high level.
#RollJays
Creighton has to have one of the most confusing resumes in college basketball.
Some really bad losses, some really good wins.
Need some consistency down the stretch in February if Creighton wants to hear their name called on Selection Sunday.
Buckle up, friends.
#RollJays
Man..what a season. These dudes were so fun to watch. Credit them for not rolling over, they could’ve so many different times this year.
But they kept fighting and have transformed this Creighton program into something crazy. The future is so, so bright.
As always,
#RollJays
.
Ahhhh. All is right in the world. Creighton is up huge on Nebraska, ruining their best start in program history since before I was born.
Literally couldn’t ask for a better Sunday. 💙
Getting Baylor back for one more year is huge for Creighton, obviously. Year two of his campaign you’ll see him even more comfortable in our offense (scary).
Add Alexander and Kalkbrenner into the mix, that’s a strong team.
Always a good day to be a Jay!
#ROLLJAYS
Traudt is going to be a completely different player by the time this season is over.
His game fits our system so well & he’ll earn important minutes with this team early in the season.
Excited to watch him blossom.
#RollJays
Trey Alexander’s mid-range game has been lauded all season….and for good reason.
Trey just gave Creighton yet another solid road victory in Big East play on one of his best shots of the season.
Winning at Nova is not easy. Huge win!
Next stop - Madison Square Garden. 🏀
Trey Alexander looked like was really injured there at the end of the half, nothing like a good ole heart attack to start off the year. 😂
Creighton is really good and this game is fun. That’s all.
#RollJays
Always a tough time saying goodbye to college basketball. I’ve been watching any game I can, religiously, since 2003. Nothing beats March Madness.
Until next year, Go Creighton, Roll Jays, and have a great offseason, friends.
Massive news for Creighton. Traudt left Virginia after red shirting this season.
Great start to the offseason for Greg McDermott and his squad.
#RollJays
Virginia transfer Isaac Traudt has committed to Creighton and Greg McDermott, a source told me.
Traudt redshirted this season for Virginia and was a former 4⭐️ recruit coming out of high school.
He is a native of Grand Island, Nebraska. A nice pickup for the Jays.
Congrats to the Big East!
We beat the absolute shit out of each other all year and got 6 teams in the tournament. Year after year, this conference reloads and goes to work.
Wear that White & Blue proudly. What a year.
Do not for a second reduce this season to THAT ending. These guys have earned more than that shitty ending.
Till the end of time, I will bleed White & Blue.
Roll Jays. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
#RollJays
Gutty win for Creighton. Back to back gutty wins for this squad.
Really good to see them not roll over and give up in both of those games. They move to 6-3 in Big East play with DePaul scheduled in Omaha on Saturday.
#RollJays
Really sad to see Reef go. He was such a great player when given the chance.
He had such a tough start to the season but rebounded so nicely to really contribute to this team down the stretch. Hit some monster shots & could always count on his defensive intensity.
#RollJays
Cannot be understated how quickly things have changed for Creighton here the last month or two. Things look pretty bright for Creighton the next few years.
I feel so bad that Ryan Nembhard has been playing all these games with serious illness while we sat here on Twitter and trashed him for his average play.
Feel bad for the kid, had no idea he was that sick.
Creighton friends:
We are living in a new transfer portal world. Expect more to leave, but expect more to come our way.
It’s a long offseason. Take a week off Twitter and comeback when it’s done.
Love ya.
🫣
Jalen Brunson getting his jersey retired is so sick for Nova. Seems SO quick to get it done, but I love it.
Creighton fans - how would you like to see Doug McDermott get number 3 retired the next few seasons? 👀
Iowa just was living and dying by the mid range jumper — and Creighton was perfectly fine letting them. They stopped falling at a crazy rate and CU put a 10 point buffer in the middle of this game.
Fun, fun game here at CHICO tonight!
#RollJays
Did you guys forget that this just happened?
Omaha is not Providence. Greg is not Ed. This is not a Providence/Gtown story.
We will survive this offseason and Greg will be our dude for hopefully many more years to come.
I want this from Greg more often tbh. The Creighton contingency in Vegas could’ve thrived off this energy when the game was still in reach.
Games aren’t decided by his energy, but the traveling fans in our base deff feed off his body language and energy. 🤷♂️
Steven Ashworth with a shot that will let every Creighton fan relax for the next 15 mins. My god, what a shot.
We got this. Remain & sustain.
#RollJays
Lots to like from this game as an intro into the 23’-24’ season.
Steven Ashworth looks to be better than advertised, Miller/Traudt are going to be great, Baylor/Trey look sharp, and Kalk looks to have taken another leap.
#RollJays
For me, I think the game was decided in the opening moments of the 2nd half. Feel like that was one the best openings to a half that Creighton has had this season. Laser focused.
Overlooked?
Mason Miller's back to back buckets run in the opening moments of said half. Clutch.
Last few offseasons have been busy for Coach Mac and this one won't be an exception.
He's got to replace Alan Huss. Patchwork this lineup with whoever chooses to stay/go.
One thing I will say, Mac has never had a bad offseason since joining the Big East. Buckle up!
So unbelievably proud of Reef for sticking with it this season. Just night and day better the last couple games.
The mental perseverance to weather through his early season struggles is nothing short of impressive.
#RollJays
I took that last Creighton loss so hard, not sure i'm ready even now to talk about it lol.
What a run these guys have had the last two years. It was so much fun...sometimes you forget how quickly things can end.
#RollJays
forever.
Sadly, I have a family member who is in hospice. Had to drive to Chicago last night so my grandfather could visit them one last time.
That said, I’ll be listening to
@JohnBishop71
on the ride home from Chicago. Make it special today! First game I’m missing all season.
#RollJays
Omaha’s Frankie Fidler will put his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal, I’m told.
The 6’7” do-it-all guard avg’d 20.1 PTS, 6.3 REB, 2.6 AST w/ a 59.5 TS%.
Top ten in the nation in offensive win shares + free throws made.
Among the most productive players hitting the portal.
Trey Alexander is really cutting his choice re: NBA Draft close. Jays fans are on the edge of their seat waiting on this news, Twitter is on fire. Tonight is gonna be wild.
#RollJays
Feel like there is no way Mac would leave at this point. I really think he’s just listening to offers - but from what I know and what I believe…Mac & his wife really enjoy the community.
Mind you, this is coming from a former Coach Mac hater.
@MarcusBlossom
lock him up plz.
I hate not being able to watch these games, but god man…
@JohnBishop71
literally is the best in the business. Makes these weekend drives bearable.
Thanks for all you do, John!!
Something oddly familiar about this day.
Regular season finale at CHICO vs Seton Hall….
Inspired Jays team who is surging towards the NCAA tournament…..
Where have I seen this before? 🤔
It’s gameday folks!
#RollJays
I really hope Ben Shtolzberg decides to stick around after this season. Everyone always talks so highly of him, would be a crime for him to leave before he even gets started.
Should see a nice bump in minutes next year?
